McGregor earns the majority of his money from in-ring competition rather than sponsorship deals.

McGregor was this week stripped of his UFC lightweight belt, which was due to be on the line in a bout between Nurmagomedov and Max Holloway at UFC 223, before the latter dropped out when doctors stopped him cutting further weight on Friday.

His manager Audie Attar took to Twitter this evening to confirm he will fight again

Mr Attar said the 29-year-old is a "loyal father and friend".

He said: "So much rumour and misinformation about Conor McGregor.

"Conor is a great father, a fiercely loyal friend, and one of the best athletes in the world.
